Sanford Michelman, Dana Kravetz, and Ronald Camhi have all been selected as outside counsel nominees for the 2018 Los Angeles Business Journal’s Leaders in Law Awards. Congratulations on an award that is certainly well deserved.
As specified in today’s edition of the LABJ, they have been recognized for their exceptional legal skills and accomplishments within the Los Angeles business community.
The Legal 500 recognized M&R for the fifth consecutive year. The directory shined a bright light on the firm’s litigation work and our Advertising & Digital Media Industry Group.
The words of the Legal 500 speak for themselves:
“Michelman & Robinson, LLP’s lawyers are noted for their ‘extraordinary ability to think on their feet’. The firm has a strong profile in California, where it has three offices, though its broad commercial litigation practice sees it handling cases across the country. Its class action expertise is of particular note, where the team has secured numerous successes for its clients. In one highlight, highly recommended partner Mona Hanna acted for Motive Energy in a putative class action including claims under the Unfair Competition Law and Private Attorneys General Act, successfully negotiating a favorable settlement. Hanna is based in Orange County, where Todd Stitt and Jeffrey Farrow and recommended senior associate Vincent Loh are also based. Sanford Michelman is a name to note in Los Angeles.”
As for the firm’s ADM presence, the report says:
“Agencies, advertisers, media outlets, digital ad-tech companies, internet publishers and other content providers frequently seek advice from Michelman & Robinson, LLP’s advertising and digital media practice on a range of matters. In recent work, the firm advised Yamaha Guitar Group on the review of its website, materials and guidelines relating to advertising, social media and marketing, and assisted AirFrance with advertising compliance matters including in connection with contest and sweepstakes and in structuring gift cards and reward programs. The team also acted for MediaLink regarding its $207m sale to UK-based international business-to-business media firm, Ascential. Ronald Camhi in Los Angeles and Adam Solomon in New York jointly lead the practice that also counts TLC Marketing, Groupon and Brookstone Company among its clients.
Congratulations to M&R and specifically to Sanford, Todd, Mona, Jeff, Ron, Adam and Vincent for this very prestigious acknowledgment.
According to the Los Angeles Business Journal (LABJ), litigators transcend expert comprehension of the legal system and go to the proverbial mat to fight for their clients before judges and jury.

Congratulations, Sanford, for being recognized by LABJ for the second year in a row as one of the most influential litigators in Los Angeles. Thanks, in part, to Sanford’s amazing work, M&R’s reputation as a litigation powerhouse continues to grow—not just here in L.A., but nationwide.

Michelman & Robinson, LLP (M&R) is pleased to announce the continued expansion of its Los Angeles office with the addition of Howard Camhi, the firm’s newest member and a bankruptcy pro with 30 years experience representing commercial clients and trustees in complex bankruptcy cases, corporate restructuring and reorganizations (both in and out of court), and distressed asset, acquisition and disposition and related litigation matters.
At M&R, he will continue to do the same, as the firm has launched its Bankruptcy and Restructuring Practice Group in response to extraordinary demand in the shadow of the economic chaos and business closures caused by the COVID-19 crisis.
Commenting on M&R’s newest partner and practice, Sanford Michelman, the firm’s chairman and co-founder, said, “With every challenge comes opportunity—in this case, the chance to welcome Howard into the M&R family and expand our client base to businesses struggling to navigate financial troubles in a post-coronavirus world. Howard is an elite bankruptcy lawyer who has handled the most complex reorganizations, as well as countless cases on behalf of debtors, creditors, creditors’ committees, and trustees in bankruptcy courts nationwide. With him in the fold, we are well-positioned to service companies facing financial trouble, particularly those hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
For his part, Camhi adds, “I’m thrilled to have joined M&R, though I’m mindful that I’ve done so in the midst of unprecedented times. Clearly, our current public health landscape has diminished the financial condition of so many businesses, which brings my skillset to center stage. That being said, M&R is the perfect home for me given its extraordinary team of tax, corporate, real estate, employment, and litigation lawyers that help me to provide outstanding representation for all types of entities facing major liabilities, slumping business, and cash-flow problems, as well as creditors looking to protect themselves in days like these.”
